    On your computer's iTunes you've gone into Store > View My Account, typed in your password, and you're on your account's page ? On that screen there should be an 'iTunes in the Cloud' section', in which is a 'Hidden Purchases' link - click the View Hidden Purchases link to the right of that :

    You should then get a list of content types - select the type that you want to unhide and they should then be listed, and then click the Unhide button next to those that you want to appear again.

    It only says manage devices and iTunes match under iTunes in the cloud.  Nothing about hidden purchases.  And I have the latest Itunes update.

    I had the same problem when I updated to ios 6. My apps re-synched without going into their folders. I think Apple only allows you to have a certain number of apps on the display and it hides the rest. Well it doesn't really hide them. I hid a random app and then that 'Hidden Purchases' link was available but it only contained the app I just hid.

     

    Anyways, I arranged the visible apps into folders.

     

    Then I did this:

    • Click the name of my iphone under the My Devices heading
    • Click on Apps on the toolbar
    • Found an app in the list which was not visible on my phone and dragged it anywhere on the home screen.
    • Clicked the apply button

     

    After synching all the other apps were visible again.

     

    Hope this works for you.
